Re: Creating Folder (Mkdir)

If we're talking about sub-folders anywhere within C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86), I think it's an absolutely horrible idea for a program to reach back into those folders and do anything at all (after initial installation). That's precisely what things like C:\ProgramData, C:\Users\[WhoEverYouAre]\Documents, or even the registry are for. Or, you could even create your own sub-folder in the C:\Users\[WhoEverYouAre]\YourSubFolder area. Or, if you've got a file-server on your system, use that for your data.

Please understand that I’ve been programming since the mid-1970s and still have some of that code. My contemporary VB6 project is approaching 1,000 modules. In addition, I have a “VB6 random code folder” that is overflowing. I’ve been at this long enough to truly not know with absolute certainty from whence every single line of my code has come, with much of it coming from programmers under my employ who signed intellectual property transfers. I have not deliberately attempted to remove any licenses and/or attributions from any software. If someone finds that I have inadvertently done so, I sincerely apologize, and, upon notice and reasonable proof, will re-attach those licenses and/or attributions. To all, peace and happiness.
